Whether or not you’re into the idea of a reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise with an origin story once again showing how Peter Parker became the webslinger, you have to be impressed by the amount of passion Andrew Garfield has for the character. At the 2011 Comic-Con held July 21-24, 2011 in San Diego, The Amazing Spider-Man star wore a Spidey suit and spoke to the standing-room-only crowd about his admiration for Spider-Man and what the character means to millions of fans.
During his short but sweet speech, Garfield even said Spider-Man saved his life. Check out the video provided by Columbia Pictures of The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Comic-Con panel introduction:
The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters on July 3, 2012.
The Plot: The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets.
As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
